I agree that there is no comparison but is there could be a future connection.

I am also aware that threat assestment teams based in high and middle schools would look at such an act and require an immediate evaluation before allowing a student to return to school. Lack of empathy such as this is normally view as a warning sign for possible future problems.

I think there is a some evidence of a direct correlation between such acts leading to future violent acts torward humans.

Once again you make a legitimate point. I do concur that there is a possible correlation with future problems if this action goes unaddressed. Many counselors and myself use to have a running joke at the prison that once you get caught fishing without a licenses LOOK OUT. Several inmates started their criminal history with the simple crime of fishing without licenses, but that isn’t always the true case. If a study was done I am sure that most people caught fishing without licenses don’t go on to become hardened criminals.
